Wow! Everyone has been so busy and creative. Love the way the Craftsy BOM worked up. Did you take Leah's course to do it? I signed up, but since I haven't put the top together yet, I haven't watched the videos. The wedding quilt is going to be great. I found a good tute on Y seams I posted on another thread here a few days ago. It didn't look all that difficult -- just tedious. I know I missed someone, but chaulk it up to old age and waning memory, please.

Thanks all for your good wishes and prayers concerning Elgar dog's death. I appreciate it.

It's kind of silly, but without Elgar-dog here, I find I'm sort of walking around in a bit of a fog, and every time I pick something up to work on it seems so difficult, even easy patterns. Also, when I sewed he always laid right at my side as an encouraging presence. I buried him two weeks ago today so I know this sadness will pass, but right now I'm rather immobilized.

Not silly at all. You've lost a part of your life. It will get better with time but it's OK to let yourself miss him. Hugs.

So I went to Craftsy to order Patti's PP Butterfly pattern, but of course I couldn't ignore all those other fun patterns, and I ended up purchasing a bunch of them. Darn, I'm really trying not to buy more quilty stuff until I use up a bunch of what I own. I even let two quilting magazines lapse (keeping three others, though).

I got 3 more blocks done on nephews quilt today any progress is a good thing. I'm going to look on ebay for a few things as my tooth is aching and my jaw is tender. Another thing I've been looking for is pre sternciled wedgewood blocks maybe I'll find them this time.
